Abstract EN
Emphysematous gastritis is a rare variant of phlegmonous gastritis due to invasion of stomach wall by gas-forming bacteria.
It is characterised by abnormal presence of gas in the stomach by imaging, in association with clinical sepsis.
Patients suffering from this condition usually present with an underlying pathology.
We are reporting a middle-aged Chinese male with hepatitis B virus related hepatocellular carcinoma.
He underwent partial hepatectomy and was diagnosed with emphysematous gastritis 4 days after index operation.
Emergency laparotomy, including upper endoscopy, was performed.
He was managed with antibiotics and discharged 18 days after second operation.
This paper shows a review of the literature about the disease, with particular attention to pathology, clinical features, and management.
